Scenario 3: Saving the Working Directory to the Certified Directory
After running the modified configuration settings, and seeing no problems, the network administrator
decides that the modified configuration settings (stored in the working directory) are completely reliable.
The administrator then decides to save the contents of the working directory to the certified directory.
Once the working directory is saved to the certified directory, the modified configuration file is included
in a normal reboot.
Since the working and certified directories are exactly the same, the switch is running from the working
directory.
